I know it has probably already been asked a billion times but I tried searching and I got nowhere. I am about to launch my site and I was wondering how I can have my forum accessed simply by typing the url Example Web Page instead of having www.example.com/forum.

I am not very tech savvy and that is about as descriptive as I can get. sorry. any help is greatly appreciated.
 
goto vbulletin admincp option set your URL home page and FOrum home page put this
http://www.example.com/forum >> same

and put this in .htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /forum/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/$1 [R=301,L]
 
I was very STUPID and did not back my forum (haven't launched yet so not much data lost/just A LOT of time) and decided to manually move the forum from
Code: 
http://example.com/forum
to
Code: 
http://example.com
Everything works (as far as I know) but when someone is posting a new thread post icons show up but the No icon option (once thread has been posted. Appears as (default) when I right click it to find out the pat I get
Code: 
http://example.com/forum/images/icons/icons1.gif
the other icons show up just fine.


Any suggestions on how to fix it? thanks
